About Telissa

1. I decided to become a caregiver 18 years ago when my grandmother became ill and couldn't take care of herself. After taking the required classes I decided this is what I wanted to do, 18 years later I am still at it and love it. I have had many of jobs like working in a school, clerical work, but my passion is working will the elderly and being able to help them it maintaining their independentcy. 2.I like the fact of being a caregiver to provide the service to people who can't provide their everyday living tasks like bathing and feeding themselves, making sure they are safe and well cared for. 3. My personal achievement is when I decided to go to college in 2009 to attain a career in the medical and coding program, which I have completed and still there getting my Associate In Science degree in the Medical Office Profeesional. 4. Very independant, reliable and family orientated. I have a compassion for helping people of all ages, but mainly the elderly. I am very eager to learn many things, responsible and very energetic.
